When cooking pot roast when is it ok to add the potatos and carrots?

Answer 1

if they are supposed to be soggy = with the meat
if they are supposed to be 'al dente' = 20 minutes before the roast is done

Answer 2

You are right about not adding the potatoes & carrots right away with the roast. The important thing is to cook it on very low temperature and covered with foil for tenderness. Once it is in the oven for about 45 minutes is a good time for the extras. Use baby carrots and peal your potatos and cut into wedges. I like using a crock pot for roast with the veggies. Sounds good, yum!

Answer 3

I fill the bottom of my roasting pan with potatoes, onions, carrots and celery. Then I brown my meat (maybe a minute on each side) to seal in the juices, and place the meat on top of the veggies! I'll add some beef broth (sometimes a can of golden mushroom soup with 1/2 can of water) salt and pepper cover it and VOILA! A meal fit for a king!
Good Luck!

Answer 4

It depends on how you are cooking it. If you are doing it on the stove, or pressure cooking, I would give the veggies about 1/2 an hour to cook at the end.
If you are slow cooking, I usually put the veggies in about an hour before the roast is done.

Add them after the meat is just about done so you veggies dont get too soft or mushy and don't forget the onions either.
